“Needed” adds 2 GB of working memory for HiDream-O1 and a 0.8 GB reserve. Sizes 2026-10-01. The Comfy-Org files are complete checkpoints (loaded from the checkpoints folder); there is no separate text encoder or VAE to add. No GGUF version was found.
03The text encoder
This model has no separate text encoder: reading the prompt is built into the model itself, so its memory is already in the file sizes above.
04Measured and reported results
Nobody has sent measured numbers for this pair yet. If you run HiDream-O1 on a RTX 4070 Ti Super 16 GB, send your time per image and peak VRAM and it will appear here, credited.
05About the RTX 4070 Ti Super 16 GB
The RTX 4070 Ti Super 16 GB is an Ada Lovelace GPU with hardware FP8, so ComfyUI can compute Comfy-Org's FP8 files natively: small and fast. (Plain FP8 files use FP8 maths with the --fast fp8_matrix_mult option.)
